Michael Martin, Nike’s former global head of digital products mentions that that viewing the store and Nike’s mobile app as connected customer touchpoints has increased Nike’s sales.
“The way we look at digital and in-store is not channel-by-channel, or one channel helping the other. Instead, we architected the entire notion of why someone with a phone in their pocket would walk into a store.”
“We want to have the best store experience where our most connected customers are, whereas another company might look at the inverse — if people are shopping in the app, they don’t need a store there. But we see our approach as better serving our customers.”
